PINOCCHIO

Hello! My name is Jiminy. I never used to believe in shooting stars. Let me tell you why I changed my mind.
            It all started one night in a wood - shop Carver.
            The store was owned by a nice man named Geppetto.
            Geppetto had a wooden puppet. It looked like a boy.
            Geppetto lived with her cat, Figaro and his fish, Cleo.
            "Just a little 'paint more, and ended," said Geppetto them. He painted a smile. Then the old man smiled, too.
            "I have only the name for you," said Geppetto the puppet. "Pinocchio!"
                Soon as Geppetto was climbing in his warm bed.
            Suddenly he pointed to the brightest star in the sky. "Look, Figaro! And 'the star he wants."
                Geppetto made a wish.
            "I wish my little Pinocchio to become a real boy," said the cat.
            Geppetto fell asleep and dreamed of having a real, living child.
            Well, I fall asleep. So I saw the Tooth Fairy flying through the window! She waved her wand ... and Pinocchio came to life!
            "I'm a real boy?" He asked.
            The Blue Fairy shook her head. "If you're good, one day you'll be a real boy."
                Pinocchio was very happy. He could walk and talk like a real baby. In fact, he made such a noise that woke Geppetto.
            The old man could not believe his eyes.
            "My wish has come true!" Exclaimed Geppetto.
            He danced around the room with Pinocchio.
            "Look, Figaro! I have a son!" Shouted Geppetto.
            Geppetto, Pinocchio loved how he loved a real baby.
            The next morning Pinocchio Geppetto sent to school.
            Pinocchio was very excited. He was eager to learn how real children.
            Two rascals saw Pinocchio walking to school.
            One was a sly fox named Honest John.
            But Honest John was not honest.
            The other was a mean cat named Gideon.
            Honest John said: "A puppet that moves without wires! We can make a fortune from him."
                Gideon agreed.
            The fox and the cat said Pinocchio to come with them.
            Honest John said: "You'll be the star of the puppet show of Stromboli."
                "But I have to go to school," said Pinocchio.
            "Actors do not need school. Come with us. We'll show you the easy road to success," the sly fox promised.
            So he went with Pinocchio Honest John and Gideon.
            I spent the day looking for Pinocchio.
            I finally found him in Stromboli's puppet show.
            The show has just begun.
            "Ladieees and gentlemen!" Stromboli announced. "Presenting the one and only puppet without strings!"
                Pinocchio came out on stage.
            He sang a fun song.
            She danced with the other puppets.
            The crowd cheered and threw gold coins.
            Pinocchio was a star!
            Pinocchio thought that I no longer need.
            But I was wrong!
            Stromboli would not let him go home to Geppetto, Pinocchio. Instead, he closed the poor Pinocchio in a cage.
            "You're going to do a lot of money for me," said the Stromboli greedy.
            I have seen Stromboli driving his wagon out of town. So I decided to say farewell - farewell to Pinocchio. I found my friend in the cage.
            She was crying. He was sorry he had not gone to school. And he wanted to go home.
            I tried to set free Pinocchio, but I could not open the lock.
            It seemed hopeless.
            Then Pinocchio saw the shooting star.
            In a twinkling, the Blue Fairy appeared.
            He asked me what had happened to Pinocchio.
            Pinocchio told a lie after another.
            With every lie, his nose grew longer ... and longer ... and longer!
            "Tell the truth," I asked Pinocchio.
            Finally he did.
            The Blue Fairy smiled. She waved her wand.
            Pinocchio's nose has become again soon. And he was free!
            "Remember," said the Blue Fairy. "A guy who will not be good could also be made of wood."
                Meanwhile, Honest John and Gideon were in a tavern.
            A fat coachman was there too.
            Honest John boasted about how much money they had paid for Pinocchio Stromboli.
            "I pay even more for kids," said the coachman. He showed them a bag full of gold.
            The coachman said Honest John his scheme.
            He led the boys to a place called Pleasure Island.
            He said: "No boys ever come back -., At least, not like boys"
                Honest John has decided to take the younger boys.
            Just then, Pinocchio and I were rushing home to Geppetto.
            I ran very fast. I did not see Honest John Pinocchio stop until it was too late.
            Honest John said Pinocchio Pleasure Island.
            "The kids play all day and never have to go to school," said the sly fox.
            "Sounds like fun!" Pinocchio agree.
            Soon Pinocchio and a coach full of guys were going to Pleasure Island.
Pinocchio thought I might need my help. So I jumped on the back of the bus.
            We rode across the starry night. Then we sailed to Pleasure Island.
            Pleasure Island was full of rides and sweets.
            The guys did what they wanted to do.
            Pinocchio became friends with a bad guy named Candlewick.
            Wick was smoking a cigar. He showed how Pinocchio to play pool.
            But then something terrible has happened.
            Candlewick has grown donkey ears. He grew a tail of a donkey. He began to bray like a donkey.
            Hee - Haw! Hee - Haw!
            Candlewick transformed into a donkey!
            Pinocchio began to laugh. But he brayed like a donkey.
            Hee - Haw! Hee - Haw!
            Then Pinocchio grew donkey ears and a tail of a donkey.
            He was turning into an ass, too!
            "We have to get off Pleasure Island before it's too late!" I cried.
            Pinocchio and I jumped into the sea.
           By the time we reached the shore, Pinocchio stopped turns into a donkey. But he still had his long ears and tail.
            We ran to the store of Geppetto.
            Nobody was home!
            Pinocchio and I did not know what to do.
            Then a letter floated down from heaven.
            I read the letter aloud. "Geppetto went to look for you. His ship was swallowed by Monstro the whale."
                "We must save him!" Cried Pinocchio.
            At that moment Geppetto, Figaro and Cleo were inside the belly of Monstro.
            "Monstro We will starve if not soon opens his mouth," said Geppetto them.
            Pinocchio and returned to shore.
            Pinocchio a stone tied to the tail.
            Then he fell overboard and sank to the bottom.
            We looked around.
            A school of fish swimming nearby.
            We finally discovered Monstro.
            The sleeping giant whale.
            Monstro suddenly awoke.
He opened his big mouth.
            Monstro swallowed the fish whole.
            He swallowed Pinocchio and me, too!
            Soon Pinocchio and Geppetto I were on our boat.
            Geppetto shouted: "My son! I thought I would never see you again."
                Geppetto, Pinocchio embraced. He promised he would never leave his father.
            Then he saw Pinocchio Geppetto long ears and tail.
            "What has happened?" Churches.
            Pinocchio was ashamed.
            "I'll tell you later," he said. "First we must get out of here."
                Pinocchio had a plan. "We need to make a fire. The smoke will make Monstro sneeze."
                They built a big fire.
            Sure enough, the great whale opened his big mouth. "Ah ... Ahhh ... AH - CHOO!"
                We were all blown from the mouth of Monstro.
            Geppetto was too weak to swim.
            "Save yourself," said Pinocchio.
            But the child of wood would not let his father. Pinocchio Geppetto pulled to shore.
            Geppetto, Pinocchio awoke and found lying in water.
            Pinocchio did not move at all.
            Pinocchio Geppetto took home.
            He put the boy on his wooden bed.
            Geppetto wept. "Well - Farewell, my brave son. You gave your life to save me."
                Suddenly a light shone around Pinocchio.
            Its limbs in wood changed the royal arms and legs.
            His eyes were opened. Pinocchio was alive.
            And it was a real baby!
            Geppetto, Pinocchio embraced.
            They danced around the room. At Geppetto's last wish had come true.
            That is what happens when you want on a star!
